Comments (12)I've never seen root rot on a jaboticaba. Mine, which are in ground of course, are in the lowest point in my entire property. There have been some multi-day rain events that have left standing water in this area for a full 10 days without any root issues. During dry season, I'll let the hose run completely flooding the area. That doesn't leave any standing water for more than a day, but I usually have to do it a day or two in a row before flowering commences. Good luck. Harry...See MoreBaking and Pet Hair!
Comments (41)The Cat From Hell mostly stays in the basement because she doesn't like me, so I don't find cat hair in the food, I just find it on Ashley's pillow and since it isn't my pillow, I don't care. WonderWeiner always slept with me, but I was never covered with dog hair. he got brushed every day and I vacumned regularly, so I'm assuming that kept it to a minimum. Plus doxies don't really shed much. Elery's chihuahua sheds more than any other dog I've ever seen, so i'm always vacumning up after he goes but I guess that doesn't really bother me either. I always clean my counters before and after food prep, because that's how I've always done it, it has nothing to do with pet hair. i don't mind finding egg shells or bones, I do dislike finding a bug in something but it doesn't weird me out, I mostly just pick it out. Since I know about the allowable percentage of particulate matter in commercially packaged food, I know that everything we buy at the grocery has bugs or rodent hair or droppings or fingernail clippings or dirt or leaves and twigs or SOMETHING in it. Add the fact that I'm a farm girl and it just doesn't bother me. Of course, the parasites in the fish don't bother me either, as long as they are cooked. Oh, and I also know that lobster IS a bug, but I eat them anyway. Annie...See MoreBreville kitchen toys
Comments (9)Thanks for confirming that Brevilles are good. I think so too, but I've only had it for 2 days :o) It looks so good beside the stainless steel microwave! I have a friend with a Vita-mix, so I had pretty high standards for a blender as I do with any appliance. I can't wait to bring my Breville over and do a comparison with the Vitamix... I'll post a video of it here when we do it. Annie, yes, they are fun, and of course you were right... I always want to know vacuum updates. Panasonic is a great brand... they are the best value for money as far as vacuums are concerned. Very durable and preform well. Their best machines are beltless, but use a bag. Many of the ones that aren't beltless have a metal bottom plate and roller brush which makes them just glide across the floor. Lots of times Panasonics will come with an extra long hose (30 feet?) that is really helpful, because the on board one can be short. Many of them also have a quick draw wand that can be detached in an instant for quickly snatching a cobweb or doing edges. Congratulations! Just be glad you didn't get a Kirby!

Comments (35)So far I like our recently purchased Miele Marin. We had a Kenmore Progressive canister vac. Still have it, but it's now DH's "shop vac" of sorts--he kept using it to vacuum up Sheetrock dust and sawdust while working on house projects anyway. The Kenmore is heavy, the canister as well as the hose and power head. DH is supposed to do the vacuuming, but I ended up doing it more often than not, and I always ended up with an aching back. The Miele is soooo much lighter and easier to maneuver, too. It came with a hardwood floor brush, and you can choose one of three power heads (at different price options). We chose the one that is recommended for low pile carpet. It has a button to turn the roller brush on/off. The other two power heads would have been more aggressive on the carpeting (and more $). Only two rooms in our house are carpeted, with Berber carpeting, so we chose based on that. We considered a model with a suction-only, multi-surface head, but it seemed to require much more "elbow grease" on the part of the user (me!) in order to move it across the carpet (in-store try-out, and another brand's loaner vacuum on our carpet at home). Also, multiple passes over the carpet still left behind what needed vacuuming up, including grains of cat litter tracked into the room....See More- 2 years ago
